And there is always some wistful remnant in us of that early wooing of wisdom. 'Life has meaning,' we feel with Browning -- 'to find its meaning is my meat and drink.' So much of our lives is meaningless, a self-canceling vacillation and futility; we strive with the chaos about us and within; but we would believe all the while that there is something vital and significant in us, could we but decipher our own souls.

فکر می کنم می خواهد بگوید برای انسان مدرن یافتن معنای زندگی از یافتن نان شب هم واجب تر است.
ضرورت یافتن معنای زندگی برایم همچون وجود آب برای ماهی / یا آزادی برای پرنده است.

منبع و مایه ی حیات/ 2- پیش پا افتاده و معمولی 

Meat and drink in this phrase has two meanings, which appear to be independent of each other. Either, to be a source of support or pleasure or, to be a simple and routine matter.
